For years, I’ve been railing against Facebook as “too much information.” I have also been very suspicious about the guys who own and run Facebook because of privacy issues. But unfortunately, it seems that if you want to promote yourself at all these days, Facebook is the place to do it. Even in the knitting world, Ravelry and LinkedIn aren’t enough. So today, I joined Facebook.

Right now, I don’t need to make money in the knitting world, but I want to get known there. And I want to start designing sweaters that actually get published. I would be happy if I design even one sweater this year that is accepted somewhere for publication. And Facebook is a good place to connect with magazine editors.

It’s also a good place to promote this blog, and I’m going to be doing that shamelessly. ;D

So we’ll see how it goes. If you’re on Facebook and you’d like to follow my knitting exploits over there, friend me. And if you know of any knitters out there who would be interested in joining my network, tell them to get in touch on Facebook, too.
